Cadapdapan Rice Terraces

Cadapdapan Rice Terraces are stepped agricultural fields located in Barangay Cadapdapan, municipality of Candijay in eastern Bohol, Philippines. Created and maintained by local farming families over generations, the terraces cover rolling hillsides and are often compared to a smaller version of the Banaue terraces. The site is notable for its scenic layered landscape, seasonal changes in color from green to golden, and its proximity to Can-umantad Falls, making it a popular countryside stop.

Visitors can expect layered rice paddies carved into rolling hills with a viewing deck overlooking the valley. The landscape changes with the cropping season from lush green to golden yellow. The area is rural and open with narrow dirt paths between paddies, small huts, and views of surrounding hills. Most visitors combine a short walk and photography at the terraces with a trek to nearby Can-umantad Falls.
